Pizza Man

Apologies to all the Billy Joel fans.



It’s 9 O clock on a Saturday,
A small crowd shuffles in
I look at them over my counter
And wonder why these idiots don’t just order in

One of them looks for coupon codes
This is Domino’s pizza after all
But our best offer is free garlic bread
Because this is a small outlet in a mall

La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Bake us a pizza, you’re the dominos man
Bake us a pizza tonight
We’re all in the mood for some calories
And a hunger that you have to satisfy

Now, one of them wants more discounts
Might as well just ask for the pizza for free
And he’s quick to point flaws with the outlet because
He is broke and has no money
He says,”Dude, this weird smell is killing me”
As I resisted punching his face
“Well, I’m sure that I could eat somewhere else”
But I know that he cannot afford a better place


La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Now their pizza is baked and ready to eat
I make them wait because of cheap thrills
Then my manager gives me the warning look
He knows that I need this job to pay my bills

It’s a pretty good business for a Saturday
We have been working for a while
Now I just want to go home to sleep all alone
But Dominos is always on speed dial
And the kitchen smells like an Oregano orgy
But at least the end of the night is near
I think about my Arts degrees and all my studies
And ask myself what am I doing here?

Bake us a pizza, you’re the dominos man
Bake us a pizza tonight
We’re all in the mood for some calories
And a hunger that you have to satisfy
